Hello Maxim,

Just today I ssh'd into childhurd with -p 10022 like the manual
suggests.

Also, I ssh'd into Debian GNU/Hurd in qemu with 5555 like the Hurd documentation
suggests. I ended up using (also to get Spice):

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 3072 -smp 1 -enable-kvm -nic \
user,model=rtl8139,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:22 -net user -boot menu=on,order=d \
-drive cache=writeback,file=hurd.img -device \
virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 \
-chardev spicevmc,name=vdagent,id=vdagent -device \
virtserialport,nr=1,bus=virtio-serial0.0,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0

You may have a different issue, just want to give some feedback.

Best regards,
Eric
